This is a Cuban classic and makes a wonderful marinade for meats and poultry. Traditionally this is made with sour oranges. If those are not available, this version is great!
Ingredients:
- ½ garlic bulb
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 large onion
- 1 Seville orange or grapefruit
Directions:
Crush the garlic along with the dry spices until the mix becomes almost a paste. Add the onion chopped or sliced into thin rings and the Seville orange or grapefruit juice.
Notes:
Soak the piglet in this marinade, preferably on the inside. Pierce with a knife in several places to allow the seasoning to go in deeply. You can use the mojo for the Tamale and yuca.
